Can anyone tell me the recipe for the houmous Gillian made this week ? I know it had a tin of chick peas and some coriander, but what else ??

[Kim A]

Lemon juice, tahini paste, garlic, olive oil. No salt from what I remember, but I'd put some in, myself.

one can of chick peas
one crushed garlic clove
3 tbsp tahini paste
4 tbsp olive oli
lemon juice

zap all above in blender and bung in fridge

What is tahini paste ?? Can I get in supermarket ??

[Jules001]

yes you can, I actually bought a jar yesterday in Morrisons, it is with the Greek type food (vine leaves, cous cous etc)

[smurfchops]

Thanks I will get some, never heard of it before. I made the houmous anyway without the tahini paste and it is OK but tastes as if something is missing - probably the tahini paste !

smurfchops ... Tahini is Sesame paste, made from grinding up sesame seeds..

if you struggle to get it (not all supermarkets have it) get some sesame oil and add a few drops. It'll make the taste a bit more authentic.
